Estimate
£400 - £600
Japanese bronze rat, late Meiji (1868-1912), finely detailed, dark brown patina, height 12cm
More Information
The tip of the rat's tail, we believe, has been broken. All the claws are present. There is a very small indentation on the base of the rat near the tail (see image), this appears to be a fault in casting as opposed to damage.
No further issues.
